My journey began in 2012 with tinkering and crafting mods for video game consoles, leading me into the fascinating world of coding and computer science. Over the years, I've had the honor of building software for diverse companies, including an investment firm, a startup, a community organization, and a telecom company.

These days, my focus has been on contributing to open source projects and furthering my self-education. During my free time, I create and share lessons and tutorials on app development and devops.

When I'm not at my computer, I'm usually playing the guitar, spending quality time with my partner, dog, and two cats, or reading up on gravity and quantum mechanics.
